I finally decided to try the internet dating game, yay go me!

I've just finished my profile but writing about my self is just awful i really cant do it, can i have some constructive criticism please on this mess.

What are you supposed to put in the headline box? i just went for a movie quote.

remove the "when not at work" and it looks pretty good, that one line makes out that you're in work all the time.
Also more pictures man, one with a group of friends normally helps.

best bet is to wait for Cilia aka Mischeif to go over it.
 
:mad:

Wds - content of your profile is okay I guess, however a little dull. Come up with a joke or laugh at something about yourself, and throw in a few exclamation marks!!

woohoo now you can get your own back on me for my slipped use of the giant word :o be brutally honest

well, none of the 3 I was briefly talking to yesterday lasted more than about 5 messages, and most of that was rubbish stuff. I put in some effort and just get back 1 word answers, or something that kind of ends the conversation so im the one left trying to keep it going with something new.

is my profile really that bad?

no laughing at the pics, please for the love of god no laughing

Hmmmmmmm

remove the last picture the hand positioning is awkward..

you have no pictures at all of you out with anyone doing something ?
 
Ditched the "when not at work line" pictures wise i really don't have any ill try and get some friends to take some over the next couple of weeks. More humour would be good ill try and do some improvements tomorrow, think ive been looking at it too long for today want to make sure the profiles decent before i try messaging anyone.
 
i was really social until the wife. and now i have moved away from them all.

i will give the timer idea a shot.

timer one didn't go too well either :(

Its better than the other photo though, so you're going in the right direction

By the looks of the photo it's using the flash as the lighting is quite harsh giving that startled eyes look. If at all possible try and cover the flash with something like a white cloth/paper to diffuse/soften the light.

And as people have mentioned dont stand face on, stand just turned to one side - we all have our "best" side or in my case the lesser of two evils :D, just look in the mirror and see which is your best side

What type of camera is it? is it a point and shoot or dslr?

a cheap Samsung point and shoot job.

standing sideways, I don't fully understand, so you only see one half of me? or do you still kind of face the camera :confused:

lol no not a side profile! just tilt your head a little. For examples;
try here See most of them just slightly looking off from centre?
 
:eek: I would feel like such a poser :o my biggest issue is arms, what the hell do you do with your arms?

lol i'm not saying start posing and pouting at the camera :D the fun with digital photography is the fact you can take loads of pictures for free and experiment. If you're worried about your arms for now, just do shoulders and above shot, but dont get too close to the camera, just crop it from shoulders up

Your profile looks okay, but the pics are totally not :p You like to wear black don't you?!
As others have said, need some variety to your pics as they all look similar. Maybe try getting your kids to hold the camera and take a pic for you? :D

not sure what you're more mad at the cilia reference or the misspelt name??:D
Both!
